Trade Chase Utley so said Keith Law, ESPN.com today on The Sportsbash. Law also said look to trade Jimmy Rollins and even Cliff Lee if you get a strong offer for him. Law's reasoning was that Utley will look to walk in the off season anyway and the "last thing you want to do if youre the Phillies is sign him to a long term deal." Law also said that the Phillies need to realized and come to terms with the fact that they arent a very good baseball team and that they need to sell their assets. Follow Keith Law on Twitter.

Andy Katz

ESPN college basketball insider called in to talk about the 3 players the Sixers added last week: Nerlens Noel, Michael Carter-Williams and Iranian Arsalan Kazemi. Katz said it was a great night for the Sixers to wind up with both Nerlens Noel and Michael Carter-Williams. Katz said Noel would have been the consensus number one overall pick if he didnt rupture his ACL. Katz thought Ben McLemore as the only All-Star in this draft, but also said if Noel and MCW reach their potentials they could be valuable pieces.
